Rethinking business: Mariana Mazzucato

VIC

Dec 14

CEDA in collaboration with Monash University and the Centre for Policy Development present a unique opportunity to hear from Mariana Mazzucato, one of the world’s leading voices on the economics of growth and innovation.

Event overview

How can business leaders and policy-makers work together to achieve economic growth that is both smart and inclusive? Can we rethink the relationship between the public and private sectors to develop economic policy that is more dynamic, long-term and led by innovation?

Mariana’s advice is eagerly sought around the world by government leaders seeking to make growth more innovative, inclusive and sustainable. She has driven new debates on the economics of innovation, the role of patient finance, how economies really grow and the critical role of the State in modern capitalism.
